Unfortunately this further eliminates any sweet spots in the program, but I will say that in practice, what has been good with AA and UA's programs are that short haul flyers who pay an arm and a leg (and often on the worst equipment) no longer get penalized.
This is the r/Delta quote from the OP: "I don’t know what the changes are but what I’ve heard is MQM, MQD, and MQS will be consolidated into one metric, similar to how United just has PQP and AA has LPs."

Here we go with an r/ rumor.
